Tom from @codecov here, super excited to be joining the Harness team!
Tom from Codecov here.

I'm a huge proponent that branch coverage is way more important than just statement coverage, because as you mentioned, it's way easier to miss these types of bugs just by getting 100% statement coverage.

Tom from Codecov here. This is so true, 80% is usually a much more reasonable approach. It’s better to write good tests than all the tests.

(Shameless plug) I wrote a short post about this here: https://about.codecov.io/blog/the-case-against-100-code-cove...

Tom from Codecov/Sentry here. Thanks so much! We're very excited to be here.
Tom from Codecov here, looks awesome! Thanks for building this out.
